A X-ray detector having enhanced X-ray sensitivity, which enables dual energy imaging having high diagnostic performance. This X-ray detector includes: scintillator elements which are partitioned by light blocking walls and which convert low-energy X-rays to light; and scintillator elements which are partitioned by light blocking walls and which convert high-energy X-rays to light. When seen from the direction of incidence of the X-rays, the positional pattern of the light blocking walls and that of the light blocking walls are configured so as not to be in alignment with each other. Accordingly, the X-rays incident on the X-ray detector are converted to light by at least either one of the scintillator elements and are finally outputted as X-ray detection signals.
An X-ray detector comprising:
